Patent CA-2573100-A1 (CA)
Inventor: EMMERSON GREGORY DANIEL
IPC: G01N21/41
Filed: 2005-07-07
Abstract: An optical sensor comprises a sensing element comprising a waveguide grating with a response that varies with an effective modal index experienced by light propagating in the grating and a sample window for receiving fluid which affects the effective modal index to modify the response, the sensing element arranged to receive light from a light source and to output the light after filtering; and an analyzing element comprising a second waveguide grating having a second response, and arranged to receive light output by the sensing element and to output the light after filtering for detection by an optical power detector. The combination of the two gratings converts changes in the wavelength of light output by the sensing element in response to the sample of fluid to changes in the amount of light, allowing the fluid index to be deduced from a measurement of optical power. The two elements may be fabricated on a single substrate to reduce errors from environmental disturbances such as temperature changes.

Patent CA-2577428-A1 (CA)
Inventor: PARK VINCENT
IPC: H04B7/00
Filed: 2005-08-16
Abstract: Improved group communications methods which are well suited for a wireless environment are described. End nodes request that access nodes make changes in group membership information maintained at the access node. The access node responds to the requests by a response signal indicating a grant or denial of the request. Requests may be to add or remove the end node, e.g., a mobile wireless terminal, from a particular group membership list identified in the request signal. The access node maintains a detailed list of group members and uses the information to control how signals, e.g., packets, are transmitted to the group members. Group membership information may be updated at the node at the time of handoff and/or an end node enters the cell or otherwise changes its point of network attachment.

Title: Method and device for encoding and reconstructing computer-generated video holograms
Inventor: LEISTER NORBERT
IPC: H04N13/00
Filed: 2005-09-07
Abstract: A method and a device for encoding and reconstructing computer-generated video holograms with the help pf a conventional LC display aims to reconstruct holographically three-dimensional scenes using electronically controllable pixel in a holographic array (3) with a minimal resolution, as free as possible from flickering and cross-talking, in real time, and for both eyes at the same time in a large viewing zone. The method takes advantage of an optically focusing means (2) in order to image vertically coherent light emitted by a line light source (1) into viewing windows (8R, 8L) after modulation by the pixel array (3). The holographic reconstruction (11) of the scene is rendered visible from viewing windows (8R, 8L) for both eyes of an observer by way of diffraction at the pixels. According to the invention, the controllable pixels are disposed in pixel columns (15, 16), which encode separate holograms of the same scene for both of the observer's eyes (R, L), where said holograms are one-dimensional in vertical direction and horizontally interleaved. An image separation means (7) with separating elements arranged parallel to the pixel columns releases the respective pixel columns (15, 15' or 16, 16) for one eye and covers them for the other eye.
